Street, Road and Highway Projects

Found the first full project layout of the University and 4th reconstruction project in Thursday's Climate and Infrastructure Committee agenda.
The project will add raised bike lanes, curb bumpouts, some added boulevard space, and will fix a sidewalk gap between University and 4th on the I35W frontage road. The project will span from I35W to Central Ave and will begin in 2027. Exciting to know that there will be uninterrupted protected bicycle infrastructure from Central to Oak street (and beyond) by the end of 2027.

I generally like the looks of it. MNDOT could be less allergic to tightening those turning radii at 35W, but this is genuinely pretty good.

don't know how you would do it but i would love to see a city wide map with all these plans overlaid on it so we could see how the network is coming together over the next several years.

sorta like this

Hopefully with the 2050 comprehensive plan, they at the very least update a lot of the city and county bicycle network maps. I don't think the city map has been updated since 2020 or so.

Meeting tonight at Nokomis Community Center, 5-7pm. No formal presentation, so I think it's one where you can just drop in, look at the boards and chat with staff. I'll be there.
